The Illuminati (if rumors are true) bloodlines date at least back to the age of Christ, possibly back to the age of Babylon. The concept of a New World Order has been created by the CFR, World Bank, etc, not MegaCorps. Although many CEOs of the media giant conglomerates are perhaps part of such a secret occult society (assuming it exists; it is likely that they do not), it is folly to both accept this view, AND believe that the MecaCorps are "in charge." If the rumors of the Illuminati and the NWO are true, then it is actually wealthy European families that are responsible for this crap.
Unfortunately, it is really tough to sort any of this out as fact, as many of those who speak out against it all are disinformation agents. By that I mean they tell a whole lot of scary stuff that is indesputably true, and then tell you that aliens are responsible for it all (for example). Because of this, it is pretty tough to know to what extent these conspiracies are true.
Nevertheless, that is not functionality present with the Recycle Bin. Desktops such as Gnome and KDE both have their own implementations that work about as well. Norton's software is data recovery. Apples and oranges, buddy.
In the free software world, QT is just a dependency for KDE (hence, only the free *nix version is important). Other libraries such as WxWindows are already more widely accepted by free software developers.
That's interesting. This problem also bleeds into nutrition. The USDA-approved American diet is widely criticized by most doctors and nutritionists that study diet and health extensively. IANAV (I am not a vegan, or even a vegetarian), but studies indicate that virtually every patient with adult onset diabetes who has adopted an all-natural vegan diet has been cured of diabetes.
I hate to automatically assume the worst, but it would seem that from a health care standpoint, healthy individuals make much worse customers. There could be more than just arrogance involved when doctors refuse to consider alternative treatment, whether it's illegal drugs or diets that don't follow the USDA norm.
In the case of illegal drugs, perhaps doctors are reluctant to push treatments that the federal government would never legalize. Every politician knows that the infamous "drug war" is a complete failure, but to merely suggest legalization is political suicide.
I feel so ashamed for wasting a total of 5 minutes of my life.
Remember that you too wasted equal shares of your time, and although you must feel a sense of victory, it was a Pyrrhic victory at best. A troll should do more than just waste people's time--he should ignite people's tempers. You certainly failed at that.
You are a lousy troll. A good one wouldn't have "given up" in such a patently lame fashion.
From my original post:
The grandparent's post was completely valid, insofar as there at least exists a double standard for "nature's" cures. Research on the medicinal effects (primary and "side") of marijuana is virtually absent because researchers are afraid of federal agents in ski masks kicking down their doors.
If the research is successful it is successful...
The research itself isn't patented. Patents don't seem to apply here, since the medical uses of marijuana are already laid out. If there were some new way to refine it or something, patents could come into play, but it seems like we're talking about research that studies the direct effects of marijuana as it pertains to pain relief and other ailments such as glaucoma. Basically, is marijuana a safe drug to admnister to patients? The resulting research isn't something that a company would patent, and I still maintain that drug companies here in the US at least have been reluctant to engage in such studies.
Furthermore, international corporations would be reluctant to release such products in the US.
My statement about the federal agents should have given you the idea that I had the US in mind.
Yes, medical research takes place on the global field, but major drug companies in the US (like them or not; I hate them) usually prefer in-house research and testing.
funny how the layman has an opinion but doesn't respect the experts in the respective field because he has been drip-fed 'revolutionary' ideas by CNN, hippies, etc who want to get the glory but do not put in the effort to see if it works.
Funny how the layman makes bold assumptions that make way for long diatribes.

And yet you still suggest we should trust the experts, even though they admit to having virtually no studies to base any conclusions on.
Not really. If it's a tiny snippet, as soon as copyright infringement is discovered, the code could be rewritten just as the code SCO won't disclose could be rewritten. And I bet the FSF wouldn't even sue for damages.
Who's killing thousands of people a day? Let's see the proof. I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here and call in to question the belief that Saddam is killing innocent people every day. He's a butcher in wartime, but he would never have gassed the Kurds if the US didn't give him the weapons to do so.
Terrorism is a tactic used heavily by powerful governments; Nero burnt Rome, Hitler burnt the Reichstag, etc. It is actually very seldom employed by guerilla organizations.
I would argue that a text installer is just as usable, and new users could get through Libranet's just fine, but graphical installers go a step further to really impress the new user.
If you think that you can win a case by merely appealing to corporate greed, then I'd like to know what you're smoking...but only just to avoid it entirely.
The file dialog is a gtk issue, and it will be fixed in the next major release (2.4). The only promise made by the Gnome developers is that once the file dialog exists in a stable release of gtk, the next release of Gnome will support it.
Their configuration follows a different design, which hides options that most people don't use in gconf-editor in order to bring out the few configuration options that most people might use. Less is more. Not saying this is right or wrong, but the parent certainly is spreading disinformation here. Also, there is no evidence that suggests that Gnome crashes any more or less than KDE.
That's definately a better design philosophy for "tweakers," and the distro I use follows it as well. My point isn't that Gentoo is bad (I think it's a cool distribution), just that it often gets a lot of hype from zealous users that attribute a lot of nonsense to the distro itself.
It's not like you can't build from source on any other distribution.
Well, I should have said immediate physical danger. Alcohol has immediate physical dangers attached to it. Speed has immediate physical dangers. Heroin and crack have immediate physical dangers. Smoking marijuana has no such dangers attached to it.
Until we start realizing that it's true dangers lie in it's effects over time, we will never be able to solve the real problems it presents. Of course, to do so means we have to admit that marijuana can be used responsibly like caffeine and alcohol. That is something parents don't want to do.
I am not for the legalization of marijuana per se, and I believe the true dangers are even greater than the fake ones we've created. I do find it disgusting that our federal government sees it as an issue, as the "drug war" itself is a battle states and communities need to wage, not Washington.
Actually, major.minor.teeny makes the most sense for libraries, if the authors stick to it faithfully. If you just do a bugfix or slight improvement, bump up the teeny number. If you add enhancements but do not break backwards compatibility, then bump the minor number. If you break ABI/API compatibility, then bump the major number.
Ideally, you can install different major numbers side-by-side (this isn't always the case; look at freetype), and you can easily tell if an update will have any negative impact on your system.
I've installed Linux from Scratch many times, these days I use Crux, and I do disagree with you, but I never get mod points.
The idea that the chosen defaults for RH, Mandrake, etc. take away control is absurd. You can still logon to root and hack them into a debian box, or even Gentoo. You just have to know how. You can build all your packages from source with "l33t" compiling options (however much they actually erode performance), as well as install within a chroot environment, as per LFS.
Really, Gentoo users often perceive that Gentoo is giving them control, when actually Gentoo is just making easier the same advanced tasks that you can do on any other distribution.

Your post is nothing but pure speculation.
Look around at crossplatform OSS projects. WxWindows is much more widely used. Hell, even the Win32 GTK port is more widely used.
Also, can someone enlighten me as to why my post was flamebait?

Now there's a reason to put on a tinfoil hat.
Not because I'm an ignorant 'Merkin, but because other countries (such as the UK) have sane policies with respect to marijuana.

It's apples to oranges. dpkg and rpm are comparable, as are urpmi and apt-get. I personally really like RPM too.
Try looking up Libranet.
